Last Year's Options points - Franchise Trade/Roster Problems Fixed?

[The_Beastmaster]

When playing and trading in franchise mode...are last year's options points players problems fixed?
Remember last year, you would have to have a Major league slot open on your a player to come on to the team, via trade, and then you could ship him down to AAA or AA, etc. Otherwise, the player would disappear from the roster, etc.
Anyone else who remembers this from last year, and who has piddled around with the franchise mode, has this been fixed for this year?
Hoping to hear some good news here.
This was a major frustration factor with the franchise mode... most everything else about it was great, as I recall... but this problem really was a bummer.

Thanks Knight!

This is something that I am really amazed that no one has commented about yet.
Granted the game just came out and most are still testing it's general game play fundamentals, but still, this was a huge annoyance in last year's game. Not a game killer, but none the less it was very very annoying, trying to juggle rosters and trades so as to avoid this problem.

Okay...I have to do more testing, but this is what happened.
I traded Mike Piazza(who is on the ML roster) to Anehiem for two ML roster scrubs(Halter and someone else) so I had two players and only one slot open.
The good news....both players I traded for wound up on my ML roster.
The bad news...Joe McEwing got shipped from my ML roster to my A roster and I'm guessing that someone from my A roster was cut. I was in a rush and backed out of the franchise before realizing I should have looked at the NEWS screen to see what moves were made.
Personally, I don't see why there can't be an Inactive roster where players are put during trades until you can figure out the roster moves....like Front Page Sports Baseball used to have.
I will get back to you on this one for sure.
